How many recharges can one expect before they go bad? My third pack went dead after 1 initial charge. My other 2 got only about 20 charges.

Hmmm, I think I've recharged my batt's 14-16 times each... and they seem to be producing about the same flight times so far. Don't know how many cycles on average the batteries should last, but I would think they would/should provide good performance up to about 35-40 cycles ("educated guess"). Make sure the battery has cooled down to ambient temperature before recharging; helps them last longer. Also... try not to operate plane at full throttle for more than say ten seconds at a time. High long current drains are hard on a battery. Sorry I can't give more specific info. Hope this helps somewhat.

My experience thus far is 3 hour charge capacity. I have no complaints about the quality aspects for the price that I paid. Hope this hels

Just a couple of guesses. I have two chargers - one never worked - thought it was the battery, but the batteries work when charged on the charger that works. Somewhere in their info I read that the batteries shouldn't be drained down to zero - has that happened?

My experience has been pretty good with them overall. They seem to charge a "near" dead, (maybe less than 20%), i-phone about 1 1/2 times before they themselves need to be recharged.

Jeff, I have used them without problem for months now. It may just be that you got a bum set. I have been running only Oly BLN-1s in my OM-Ds and E-M1 for the last two months, so decided to see how my Wasabi batteries were doing in my bag having not been on a charger in more than two months just for this response. I can say that BOTH my Wasabis were still fully charged (based on my E-M1's battery display) and are working fine. I'd suggest contacting them to see if they can help you out.Jamie.

Since they are rechargeable, I have no idea how many times you can charge them. However, we've never had them discharge fully but only use them a maximum of 3-4 hours at a time with no problems.

I have had three maybe 4 ?

Well... I can't say how many charges they'll take, but the first two charges of mine have lasted over 20 hours (I think the first charge was around 30 actually) so I don't think you'll have to worry about them dying on you anytime soon... at least I hope not. If you're really worried, just go and get the older glasses that use watch/button batteries... that's the safest bet, I guess.

My suggestion is dont buy. I bought 5 set from 3 different model. Thus recharge model only last 2week. The rest at most 3 to 6 mths

Mine lasted about 4 hours for 3 charges. Stopped charging after that. Requested a refund.

I charged them initially for about three hours. One of the batteries seems to take a charge overnight, but the other is pretty bad. I love the unit when it is working, but all too often, the battery goes dead without any warning. I've tried to get replacement batteries (thinking I may have a bad one), but can't find them anywhere. This is totally unacceptable! If anyone knows where to get replacements, please let me know.

Well, mine burnt out after about a week of charging 16 various devices simultaneously. So I would say no, at least, not for long. Other people have had better luck though.

Don't know that it is "acceptable" or not, but I seem to get 3-4 shaves before recharging. I now have 2, so 1 is always on a charger. My 1st one was dropped in water, so it didn't seem to hold a charge for very long. So, I used to use it while plugged in to the charger/outlet. I had to buy my 2nd one because my charger went out and stopped charging (replacement chargers are about $40.00, cheaper to buy a whole new razor)! Guess you could call/email manufacturer and ask them what the "charge/battery" life is, or should be?

Hi Gregory! I just asked the question of the best "proven" way to charge these batts and I'm convinced by the majority of answers is to use the USB end and keep the mAh's the same 1 thru 5, of course. It will take longer, but successful all around, as many have said and I tend to agree. Some have used, me included, a 3.7V wall charger, but I don't feel any longer. I hope that this helps and puts your mind at ease as it does mine!�

Many. Very many. I have recharged 20 plus times and still working. They only last 15 to 20 minutes however.

When my charger was working normally it would get a little warm with a full load of D's. I attributed this to the workload and didn't have issues until the whole charger started to go. When the charger starts to die other batteries would give false readings but the Ds favor reading as bad. You'll have to charge them one at a time after that.

I would do one of two things. Charge them for 24 hours. Or send them back. Mine only lasted about 3 charges. That still put them roughly the price of a good disposable battery, but these are not high quality.
